Bill, Is it possible to get the last development build? Regards, Todd Hicks -----Original Message----- From: William A.

The last thing I want to do is return to IIS for ASP.NET > <http://ASP.NET> development :) Simply stay tuned for 'what's next' - I should have news before the end of July for you, and will announce here. In short, a number of developers and powerusers tested the potential build 2004 release of mod_aspdotnet, but not enough httpd project committee folks were either willing or able to cast a vote to release the software. The committee had determined months ago that if there was not enough oversight the httpd project would 'dump' the module. The one released version will remain at archive.apache.org/dist/httpd/ (nothing ever truly 'disappears' at the asf), but at this point, it doesn't appear that the foundation has the oversight necessary to support this sort of windows-specific module. The biggest problem is that - normally - in the ASF we must have three of the committee members vote for a release to become an ASF release (plus more plusses than minuses, of course). Normally - some of the code contributors would become committee members once they had distinguished themselves for consistency in offering patches, feedback to fellow users or even documentation contributions. Since 'it just worked' none of our (valued!) contributors ever hit the threshold of 'sustained contributions'. So it's likely to find a new home, and I have put off notifying users@httpd until I've identified an appropriate home and context for my ongoing work on this module. As I say, keep your eyes peeled for a week.
